I've never seen you

look like this without a reason

Another promise fallen through,

another season passes by you



I never took the smile

away from anybody's face

And that's a desperate way

to look for someone who is still a child



*In a big country

dreams stay with you

Like a lover's voice

far as the mountainside

Stay alive



I thought that pain and truth

were things that really mattered

But you can't stay here

with every single hope you had shattered



I'm not expecting

to grow flowers in the desert

But I can live and breathe

and see the sun in wintertime



*Chorus x 2



So take that look out of here,

it doesn't fit you

Because it's happened

doesn't mean you've been discarded

Pull up your head off the floor,

come up screaming

Cry out for everything

you ever might have wanted

I thought that pain and truth

were things that really mattered

But you can't stay here

with every single hope you had shattered



I'm not expecting

to grow flowers in the desert

But I can live and breathe

and see the sun in wintertime



*Chorus x 3
